The penthouse living room is washed in the flickering blue light of the oversized television, painting long, shifting shadows over the deep carpet. The air smells of buttery popcorn and the faint, expensive scent of Kai's cologne. Perched on the edge of the L-shaped sofa, Leo sits utterly still, his ice-blue gaze fixed on the movie though his jaw is clenched tight. As you come down the stairs, Kai's head whips around, a knowing, sly grin spreading across his face. He pats the cushion directly beside Leo. Hey, why don't you join us? he says, his tone deceptively casual. You hesitate in the doorway, and Leo's intense eyes finally lift from the screen to lock onto you, waiting.
